While ecological interactions have been identified as determinant for biological control
efficiency, the role of evolution remains largely underestimated in biological control …

The immune interactions occurring between parasitoids and their host insects, especially in
Drosophila–wasp models, have long been the research focus of insect immunology and …

Polydnaviruses (PDVs) are obligatory symbionts with parasitoid wasps. The PDV virions are
produced solely in wasp (the primary host) calyx cells. They are injected into caterpillar …

Highlights•The best-known viral symbionts of endoparasitic wasps are polydnaviruses
(PDVs).•There is increasing awareness that PDVs can affect plant–insect interactions.•PDVs …

The in-depth studies over the years on the defence barriers by tomato plants have shown
that the Systemin peptide controls the response to a wealth of environmental stress agents …

草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) 原产于美洲, 自2019 年初入侵我国以来迅速向北

Endoparasitoid wasps use complex biochemical arsenals to suppress the normal humoral
and cellular immune responses of their hosts in order to transform them into a suitable …

The host immunosuppression by parasitic wasps is an important component of the host
regulation strategy. The venom injected at the oviposition is one of the key‐factors involved …

Prosystemin, originally isolated from Lycopersicon esculentum, is a tomato pro‐hormone of
200 aminoacid residues which releases a bioactive peptide of 18 aminoacids called …

Human carbonic anhydrase IX (hCA IX) is a tumour-associated enzyme present in a limited
number of normal tissues, but overexpressed in several malignant human tumours. It is a …
